Advantages: it has a gentle lemony scent

Disadvantages: its horrible to use and store

***Back Ground***
lm always on the look-out for hints, tips and products that will make my housework easier.l hate doing my daily house-work,the quicker l can get it done the quicker l can get out into the garden.The jobs l hate the most are cleaning the bathroom and kitchen,so lm always looking at those sort of cleaners in the supermarkets.My cleaners must do the job, be easy to use and be value for money
***Cost and Product Claim***
For a 500ml bottle it cost 30p at this given date.Product label says it cleans tough stains and will clean and shine althrough the house...lets see.
***Packaging and ease of use***
It comes in a cheap looking white plastic bottle with the usual tesco value range label.It makes no difference to me what my cleaning product packaging looks like, its going to be stored away in my cleaning bucket under the sink any-way. Some how, l dont think any posh guests or nosey neighbours that possibly visit me, will be looking in there and tut-tutting.
So starting on the kitchen counters,l open the tiny flip lid and pour on-to a damp cloth, just as instructions on bottle says.Its texture is so thin it pours out fast,even after shaking bottle as per instruction again.l dont like to have to shake any products first be it cooking sauces or cleaning products,it hurts my poor weak wrists too much...so not a good start to this item.As l said it pours out fast, too fast, so its hard to direct a small amount on the damp cloth, so l have more than l need for useage on the cloth.It wipes over kitchen counter easy and it has a gentle lemony scent, not over powering,which is what l like in a cleaning product.Heavy scented cleaners give me headaches, and as the thought of house cleaning gives me headaches in the first place, l dont need any added bonuses.So now comes the 'wipe over gently and rinse immediately' part.So l rinse...and rinse..and rinse...
yes , l have to keep rinsing because if you dont, it leaves a white film, and if that film drys, it drys to a white powder thats hard to remove .Hands aching, l decided to try it on the oven as it claims to remove tough stains.Its horrible, it does not remove tough stains on first wipe and again it left the white film that takes me forever to remove from my cooker.l decided to try it later when cleaning the bathroom.Same as before, lm not impressed.
Next day lv decided to only use this product, to finish it off,in the bathroom, from now on to clean the sink.Well heres where it really annoys me.The tiny filp top lid has opened and the lid has dried on cleaner thats gone as hard as cement.The flip top wont close.l shake the bottle and pour....no it wont pour.The cement dryed liquid at top of lid wont let the contents out.l try to unscrew the lid...it wont come off..it does not unscrew.l have to go back down stairs to try and find some thing to unclog the lid.l resort to the points of a fork...dont try with a point of a vegable knife,you will stab yourself trying to remove the cement.I think lv removed as much as l can, off to clean the bathroom sink.Well no, not completely.It appears lv only removed a small amount of the cement and the cleaner dribbles out onto my cloth, even after pressing furiously the bottle.l give up and wipe sink over and put the bottle on the window sill.Now lm getting really annoyed,it wont stand up,the thin,light plastic bottle is just not heavy enough when contents have half been used because the bottle is narrow. On top of this, the lid still wont close as its badly designed.L have to go take a painkiller and calm down with a cup of tea.
*** Does it do the job as claimed***
Well in a short anwer,no.
***Conclusion***
even though it cost very little, dont bother with this product.It takes up too much time when trying to use.

Summary: it makes cleaning a pain
